TURKEY HILL MINI
MARKET! Its doors were
opened for business on Satur-
day. Welcome to the Back
Mountain.
Kids faces were full of happi-
ness as they were greeted by
the ‘‘big dog’’ as they
approached the building. It’s a
good place to run for that milk
and bread or soda and chips in
the middle of the night. For our
area we don’t even have to go
out on the highway. Welcome
and good luck to you.

‘TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE THE
DAY we must all be cautious of
this winter. The past two Tues-
days left our Back Mountain
Area with lots of snow and lots
of problems.
In our house we had no heat
most of the day and one of our
favorite White Birch trees is
ruined. It seems White Birch
trees were damaged more than
any other kind in this storm.
The ice storm that was pre-
dicted for Thursday never
materialized so we were lucky
after all.
The famous ‘‘ice spot’’
between the Bowling Alley and
Bryant’s Mobile Homes was the
scene of another major accident
on Friday, around 5:30 p.m. As
we were coming home from
work a car going in the opposite
direction hit the ice spot and
was in the telephone.
Red and blue flashing lights,
ambulances and police cars
once aain decorated that dan-
gerous section of roadway. It
still remains a passing section
almost to the top. Why, resi-
dents wonder, what does it take
to stop people from passing
there, even when the road is
bare, it’s not safe. Add ice and
your odds drop drastically.

HAVE A SAFE THANKSGIV-

WEEKEND

By JOHN HOINSKI
Staff Writer
The Offset Paperback Com-
pany last year used an interest-
ing technique to encourage its
employees to ‘kick the habit”
during the Great American
Smokeout.
Through a one-day ‘Adopt A
Smoker’”’ program, participat-
ing non-smoking employees and
those that did, on a one-to-one
basis, together signed a formal
agreement designed to put an
end to the smokers plight for a
24-hour period. The long-range
hope was having them quit for
good. .
Vowing to provide encourage-
ment — along with fruit and
peanuts to replace cigarettes —
the non-smokers used a few
other ploys to help their fellow
“They would hide their ciga-
away those things that might
make the smoker have crav-
ings,” Safety and Health Man-
ager Don Weidner said. ‘There
was a list of things that both
parties agreed to. And I think
three people are still off ciga-
“We didn’t get to do anything
this year because it came up so
fast,” Weidner added. ‘But we
do have posters in some
places.”
Weidner says he doesn’t
preach about the evils of smok-
ing, but knows what the results
can be.
“I had two heart attacks and
a double by-pass operation,’
Weidner explained. “I used to
smoke two packs a day. So I
just decided I didn’t want to put
myself in that position and I
haven’t had a cigarette since
1982. But, it’s really up to the
individual.”
That’s the general attitude
Encon and Native Textiles, the
other two industries in the
Dallas area, take in approach-
ing its employees.
“We encourage that sort of
thing in company newsletters
but we don’t have a formal
system where there are desig-
nated areas for smoking,” John
Lloyd, vice-president of opera-
tions at ENCON, explained.
“I would say about a third of
our workers smoke, and they
are outspoken against a smok-

ing policy. But we have had no
complaints from non-smokers
about those that do. The only
thing we have is heavy duty air
conditioners and a special filtra-
tion system in the cafeteria to
clear the air. We want to be fair
in what is in the best interest of
ENCON and its employees.”
At Native Textiles, plant man-
ager Bill Paculavich said there
are no programs to promote
non-smoking, either, but said
the company employs strict
rules to follow.
“We have designated areas
that are marked off in yellow
lines where people can smoke,”
Paculavich said. “With the
material we work with, we are
conscious not so much that a
fire will break out, but that a
cigarette burn will cause imper-
fections in the cloth.”
